        Comments about RadioShack 12-Inch Shielded Stereo Audio Cable:

        I bought this end to end headphone cable and it was working great up until last month. I use it on my GalaxyS phone to play my mp3s. It started cutting in and out and my music sounded terrible. Need to improve the hardware to make it last much longer. I have other A/V cables that have lasted over 10 years and still work.

              Comments about RadioShack 12-Inch Shielded Stereo Audio Cable:

              Anyone who has a bad review for this must have bought the wrong component. Complaining about the length is absurd since you had other options. This is perfect for the AUX port of a car. Also people complain that the ends aren't marked, thats because it doesn't matter which end you use. If you need something longer, just go up to the 3 or 6 ft ones. Nobody should knock this product because they bought the wrong thing.

                I read some review that stated the "instuctions" weren't clear and that this cable was confusing and in all reality it is as simple as can be and doesn't come with a manual. One end in your MP3 player or other device the other end in your AUX port it doesn't matter what end you use. Do people need manuals to figure that out??!

                    Comments about RadioShack 12-Inch Shielded Stereo Audio Cable:

                    The color, beige, matches the area around the aux-in jack at the bottom of the center console, so is perfect. I didn't think these came in a beige. I just bought a white one too. Beige and white could be the wave of the future because some black cables I've seen have a cancer threat warning. The length is also better than the 6 ft one I had, which is bulky. Actually I might prefer a 2 ft length, but 1 ft is better than 3 or 6. When I get in the car it's easier to find the tip on the shorter cord. I might buy another one for a spare, because these cables tend to wear out in about a year, I think the wire inside breaks near the tips, from the inevitable bending.
